give me a macccccccccc sure i love cs4~ but i heard cs4 on mac have problem processing files/project larger then 500mb?..... hungry, wan go out for big mac?

not forgeting F58 was the only flash that can even bend -ve 15 degree to shot marco!~~~~~ (saying 0degree is straight front) and with such precise TTL control, ur marco also wont become overexpose~~ F58 i think has the smartest WB exposure AI~

used to play with canon 580exII, erm it tend to rely on the canon's iso a lot, so the flash i not sure is really not so powerful or the iso is the one compasate it lack of exposure~ summore it cannot withstand the weight of the garyfong bowl thingie, coz the lock is at 90degre or 0 degree, so u garyfong it at 75degree, it will fall down...

*edit: garyfong = lambency diffuser

CONGRAT!

up to u video mode on DSLR is not mature, how? D5000 is manual focus for video. good luck with that~ if u wan HD video with AF, get HX1... LOL

you may think u are in tight budget for a flash, but how long did u save up to able to afford this flash? why not save a little more and get a proper Sony flash? trust everyone here when we all (will) say, get a sony flash, and u wont regret. especially when they come to power, bounce, build in zoom motor, and precise TTL

jangan because u needed flash badly u to rush to purchase a flash, that u made a wrong choice

(or was it u are using a nikon? because the photo shows a nikon.)

if u are planing for wedding/product even portrait, reconsider for tammy 1750 F2.8, for 1.5k,

although some will say the 1.4/1.8 is very much different with F2.8, my experince with 50F1.4, wedding assignment, i dont use 1.4, as the bokeh is too much, usually i will use F2.0-2.8, as for product, i uses from F2.8-F8 depending, F1.4 dof is too shallow when going close up. tammy has wide angle so u may shoot group photo too. they create diff perspective on close up for portrait, wedding or products (oh dear, tammy the next poison?)
but, many claim that 50mm prime has very very high IQ(sharpness) then tammy and i agree (tammy iq is better then kitlens), but with all the photo that we going to resize to 800px (or 1024px) to upload or develop out (only req 2mp quality)... our >10mp pic wont matter anyway.

as for the flash issue, do u often shoot at night? or mostly daylight?
i) if daylight/outdoor, and sucker for bokeh, tammy or 50mm way to go... if on perform so so indoor, unless u have A550/700/850/900 for it's marvelous iso800-3200. A380 and below, thier iso800 are just not really brings out the sharpness of 50mm
ii) but if u are night shooter/lowlight/indoor...you MUST get flash first, always flash, not because of WL or bounce or marco etc, but because, once u get it, any lens u purchase later, the lenses will benefit from it.

my 2 cent of experince

so, depend on ur shooting style if u right, buy all 3, 50mm, tammy, F58

first, i think u activated vivid color, thus the red is very deep red (not excately overexpose)


as for the flash, open up the white card (diffuser) to push a little light into the front) as for the background, well, learn the bouncing ball technique, at which angle the light goes up the ceiling, at what angle it comes down... the light is almost impossible to brighten up the whole room (unless u have high ceiling), maybe u can try the buildin wideangle diffuser plate... or, boost ur iso to 400 to able to absord the background light(dont worry bout the flash, it will auto adjust not to overexpose)

*edit: oh, MechaHerc was right, i didnt notice u wrote spot metering, use the multi metering or centre.

yes there is. fullstop.

erm,... it's not really non constructive, but it's catagory as spam, prehaps a warning was issued before in the pass, i dont know. anyway, welcome back friend.

rare.... rare... making me thirsty... (btw, nice one, how did u made the last pic, the color lights etc?)

naa, it's the intention.... to shoot through cloth, even thou u said it was good intention, some might not think so,... i send art shots of see through cloth,... something like bikini shots, very nice... but i forgot the site...

i think the admin primary send those who said first second third... and those who said congrat in between got it too. bad luck i guess.


hokc77: wow, nice hehehe then i should go hang out at bars tonight

New Poison...

be real careful!
but A850 and A900 user probably has antipoison shield... or immune to it, at least...

guys, wanna ask, is it possible to set the shutter to 20 minutes? is there any other body aside sony could do it? because i plan to do star trail

repeat, not 20 seconds, 20 minutes.

star trails.... mmmmmm was thinking to go to the beach now to shoot, but beach usually now is full of fog... mmm or the hill side? now i realise, my hometown is wonderful, got hill, got sea, got beach, got river, got lake, got sail dock (marina bays)... all also got @.@

well, i prefer street walkaround~... and sibu has that smell, the street smell of photography.... miri is like... urggg... too much landscape in miri but doesnt bring the ump much out, maybe is because i haven manage to scout a rare sight yet...

Spam image... well not as geng as clivengu's.... just a shot i did yesterday for a piano school for their 'piano circle', like a small performance.

also, to show the power of tamron 17-50 F2.8, somewhen in the middle of the shooting, the batt of my flash went out, didnt expect it to run out so fast, went reach home only knew i brought the wrong sets ... but still alright when some i shot with iso1600

*edit: the color are warm because of the lighting in the room was 3 holegen tungsten little spotlight on the grand piano, and they prefer the color as it, so i used color gel to fire soft warm color. forgive me for the White Balance issue as it's client's request.
